Following extensive data matching trials during the tender process, Sentinel’s Data Hub technology was selected by Tower Hamlets to deliver these requirements as our ability to integrate information from across multiple service delivery systems was unrivalled.

Sentinel Director and Chief Technical Officer, Lee Coupland, explained that these data trials were particularly challenging with a requirement to take raw data from 13 different sources and produce single views of as many people as we could match over a two-week period.

“Our Data Hub is based on fully configurable rules that can be adapted and enhanced over a number of iterations of data processing cycles, so we were keen to carry out as many cycles as possible in the days we had available,” Lee added.

“At the end of the trial we had managed to establish over 7,000 more matches than any other system, and this will only increase as Tower Hamlets begin to manage and configure new rules in the full solution that we provide.”
